As an Ohio State fan, seeing that we don't have a championship quality defense this year compared to more balanced teams like Bama and FSU, if the three of us going undefetead I wouldn't be totally upset as I normally would be by going to the Rose Bowl and having a better chance of carrying a 26 game winning streak into the 2014 season.....though it would be a damn shame that Ohio State goes 12-0 and then 13-0 in consecutive seasons with zero shots at a title.

Plus it's mathematically extraordinary to go on a run like OSU has, regardless of how mediocre the schedule. Still plenty of quality BCS teams on the schedule so the running total is pretty crazy.

While I do think FSU is clearly the #1 team in the country right now, Alabama does have an excellent defense.
Ohio State is more hard to call due to how weak the Big10 is this year.
Baylor, yeah, there isn't a whole lot good with the Big12 this year. Some decent teams, but not godly. I do think against a good defense, they'll lose. Oklahoma State and Texas still left on the schedule, it wouldn't shock me if they lose one of those games. Heck, after the slow start, and it pains me to say this, Texas has been playing pretty good. The experience is playing well on both sides of the ball.

The B1G really isn't any weaker than the ACC. B1G is Ohio State and then two very good teams in MSU and Wisconsin, then the rest is really for the birds. ACC is Florida State, a big dropoff, then Clemson, then 10 layers of crap. Big 12 is worse than both.

Is it Idaho or Idaho st.? i lose track of which cream puff you guys are playing this week. I have more respect for the Pac-12 where you have tough games every week this time of the year.

Now go out and beat the Jets, i have bills to pay. (no pun intended)

It's Idaho...I am scared for people that I know who play there.

What's gonna happen when Auburn comes in a cream you guys ? can you stop their offense which is high powered compared to Alabama they have a long road and are hungry for a SEC champ title since Newton left. Gonna be a good one to watch.

Baylor's defense is legit. They're 7th in scoring defense and 11th in total defense. Those numbers are impressive by themselves, but even more so when you consider the number of possessions their opponents get.

It will be a fun one indeed. Win or lose I'll live. I'm not overly worried.

The media bias against the Big Ten is going into overdrive this year. The success of the Big Ten Network is a threat to ESPN hegemony, which is why with the new SEC network they aren't even trying to be objective anymore.

Media factionalism is going to grow to a point that something like the AP poll won't even be possible because each network will have their own agenda.

So Auburn wins a game that was gift wrapped for them with a big bright ******* bow on top of it and that's reason to predict a win over Bama? OK.

The only offense with a pulse they played score 35. Not really a good barometer yet. They played a bunch of nobodies until the Oklahoma game. Out of the top 4 teams they still have the worst defense and least defensive talent in reality.

Yet they've won all of their games more convincingly than Ohio State. They deserve to be #3 right now.

The Ohio State game was 47-35 with about 9 minutes left, the Baylor game was never within 3 TDs in the 4th Quarter. I get the final scores were similar but the ways in which they won the games were not.

The only ranked team they played was Oklahoma.......who probably won't be ranked for long. They only beat Kansas State by 10. Plus they are Baylor, Ohio State's talent and longevity gets the benefit of the doubt in this case. And the Big 12 has no defense anywhere to be found.

Ohio State has only played 1 currently ranked team and won by 7.

Their 10 point wins over Iowa and Northwestern aren't overly impressive either.
